A customer dropped off a Roval FUSEE SLX for me to work on.


I'm not entirely confident whether FUSEE is the correct way to transliterate the katakana.
Also, according to Specialized Japan's official documentation, ROVAL should be spelled "Roval,"
but I've been calling it "Roval" since before that, so the habit's hard to shake.

With the 2:1 spoke pattern and high-flange hub setup,
people might compare it to a certain other brand's wheels,
but that brand came out with a straight knockoff after Roval's patent expired—
we're the real deal here. This design style was already established back in the late 1980s.
Anyway, as for the actual work,
I just had to dial out some minor runout here and there.
